1999 Toyota Camry Key Stuck In Ignition

Harry’s Question: I can’t get the key out of my 99 Camry. It’s stuck fast, I can’t turn it to drive it or get it out. HELP!

Answer: Yes, the lock tumbler assemblies on those Camrys often do break after years of use. Take the plastic cover off the steering wheel and there’s a small pin hole on the lock tumbler assembly. If you stick a small pick in that hole, and pull out on the key, the whole tumbler assembly should come right out. Then just go put a new one in, it’s a pretty simple job. I’ve done scores of them.
